Vijay Pande and Daisy Wolf are right on! While insurers technically pay the bills, if you’re not optimizing for the patient you’re missing the plot. Focus on patient : - retention -> better outcomes - retention -> higher ltv - experience -> word of mouth referrals -> lower

The kid pushing to fusion via AI is so much fun. LLMs as compression of all info doesn't sound as sexy as talking about AGI, but even just that is still mind blowing if you think about it. It's teams and teams of info workers, tasked at your command. youtube.com/watch?v=fK5U-e…

"AI tools are getting good enough (and evolving rapidly enough) that organizations may view them more as “AI staff” than as software products. We’re not just talking about disrupting the market of enterprise software, which is on the order of tens of billions of dollars, but
